To: Alas Babylon!

Rush Limbaugh said this Friday in an answer to a caller who said he was lost faith in Trump because he signed this bill:
........................................................
Bill?

What “Bill”?

I’d picked up this thread this morning fully expecting a Mardi Gras parade of ‘rats/NeverTrumpers celebrating their giant Gotcha and what do I see?

Not

a

mention

So, I went digging.

First, according to https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/house-joint-resolution/31/text that bill still shows as “Sent to President” which would indicate to the casual observer that it HAS NOT been signed.

Or maybe somebody in Congress just wanted to kinda hide the whole thing until they figure their next play after Trump dropped this signing statement in their laps:

https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/house-joint-resolution/31/text

I’m not a lawyer but to these old eyes I can’t recall a more scholarly, nuanced and measured takedown of a bunch of pompous [BLEEPS].

Read through it yourself. Pass it along to your friends.

Have some popcorn handy when the lid comes off this thing.

...somebody named Pelosi might already be having seizures.
